Celebrate National Pet Day

Did you know that today, April 11 is National Pet Day? It's is a day to celebrate your furry best friend and also to remember the thousands
of animals who are still waiting for their forever homes.

National Pet Day was founded by celebrity pet lifestyle
expert & animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige and is sponsored by the Animal Miracle Foundation &
Network to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives and to create public
awareness about the plight of so many different kinds of animals in shelters
all across the nation.

It's estimated that approximately 16,000 pets die in U.S.
shelters every single day. This means that roughly every single hour of the day,
667 animals are taking their last breath. That's just cats and dogs and does
not include the thousands of other animals that people consider pets.

So consider this - before you spend money on coffee, junk
food, shoes, clothing, make-up, etc. - ask yourself whether you
really need it. Just one time, make the decision to forego what you want to buy
and donate the money to save a life. Help support your local animal shelters
and rescues - even a dollar a month. If a million people donated $1 a month,
that's 12 MILLION dollars raised for shelters across the nation.

You can also celebrate National Pet Day by volunteering your
time at a local animal shelter, and always remember to Adopt, Don’t Shop!
